This weekend, we will be setting our eyes to the corners of the earth. Landscapes, like all else in photography, can be painfully beautiful when done correctly, and many find that they are one of the more inspiring genres. Below are a range of stunning and magical photographs that will send chills down your spine.

Each Friday we will post a Weekend Photo Focus(also hash tagged on Twitter as #weekendphotofocus) on a certain subject; something to spark your creativity. An empty weekend for a photographer is like an empty canvas – we could always use something to do when we have nothing planned, right?

The premise is simple; snap some photographs over the weekend dealing with the weekends focus, and if you send/tweet/facebook them to us we will post them up in the follow-up article. Having a focus will help us as artists and photographers to see things that we might not always see, and make us take a shot at something we might otherwise have not.

At the weekend’s close, we will follow up with what we found on the Web, and your submissions. We hope you join in the fun and help us spread the creativity.
